The two women who found 5-year-old Jocelyn Lewis have revealed their story of how they found her in the middle of song long grass after a day of searching.

Jocelyn Lewis had been missing for 22 hours, but it was announced that she was found yesterday afternoon by Kylie Maudsley and Bree Johnson. They were looking out in an industrial area in Worongary, south of Nerang when she appeared on Spall Street in Carrara.

Though they had been looking in the area before, they had been looking on the other side of the M1 so decided to go back for 'one last look' on the other side. And it was lucky they did!

“It was a big field, and I just said ‘Jocelyn’ and she stood up,” Kylie Maudsley told The Courier Mail.

“She just said ‘Here I am’. I just called out once and she just stood up. It was a needle in a haystack. It was in the middle of the highway and a railroad track.”

The women said they were so shocked to find her, and even thought it might have been 'instinct' that drew them to the location.

“She said that she was cold and hungry,” Bree Johnson said.

“I’m just amazed at how well she was. They carried her back, she had little cuts and bruises.
